Well, one, perception is reality. It'd be one thing if this was another Sliver-only issue, but in fact most people I've talked to about it are flabbergasted at how far it has gone.
Two, it's not just about violence. And what you consider weird many more would consider incredibly uncomfortable to the point of changing their daily routine in a way that makes life harder and more challenging just so they can avoid run-ins. I'm not sure why you think 999,500 of us need to be uncomfortable to make sure we don't disturb the 500 people using public spaces illegally.
I do like the squeegee kid line FWIW. I mean, when you're resorting to twisting the situation to downplay it to fit your narrative it doesn't really strengthen your point, but we'll call that one a wash because the humour was on point.
